Sudan: Protesting journalists arrested

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has condemned the arrest and detention of about 70 journalists on Monday, as they were demonstrating against the censorship practice and tactics employed by the Sudanese government. "We consider the arrest of the journalists on Monday by the Sudanese authorities as an act of intimidation aimed at preventing the media from reporting the truth in Sudan" said Gabriel Baglo, Director of the IFJ Africa office.
